08932a1983 uml: use generic BUG
Get UML to use the generic bug support rather than arch specific one.

If I insert an artificial bug right before loading init, I get this:

c35e584c08 [PATCH] uml: fix static linking for real
There was a typo in commit 7632fc8f80,
preventing it from working - 32bit binaries crashed hopelessly before
the below fix and work perfectly now.

7632fc8f80 [PATCH] uml: fix static linking
During a static link, ld has started putting a .note section in the
.uml.setup.init section.  This has the result that the UML setups begin
with 32 bytes of garbage and UML crashes immediately on boot.

This patch creates a specific .note section for ld to drop this stuff
into.

92eac95287 [PATCH] uml: fix oops related to exception table
Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

Prevent the kernel from oopsing during the extable sorting, as it can do
now, because the extable is in the readonly section of the binary.

Jeff says: The exception table turned RO in 2.6.11-rc3-mm1 for some reason.
Moving it causes it to land in the writable data section of the binary.

Paolo says: This patch fixes a oops on startup, which can be easily
triggered by compiling with CONFIG_MODE_TT disabled, and STATIC_LINK either
disabled or enabled.  The resulting kernel will always Oops on startup,
after printing this simple output:

I've verified, by binary search on the BitKeeper repository (synced up as
of 2.6.12-rc2), starting from the range 2.6.11-2.6.12-rc1, that this bug
shows up on BitKeeper revisions in the range [@1.1994.11.168,+inf), i.e.
starting from this:

[PATCH] lib/sort: Replace insertion sort in exception tables

Since UML does not use the exception table, it's likely that insertion sort
didn't happen to write anything on the table.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
